Reading the preface to Glenn Greenwald's new book reminds again that a lot of people, smart people, are just now realizing that the emporer has no clothes.

This revelation is relatively fresh for a good third of the country, and because the revelation -- that many members of this Republican administration and Congress are incompetent, corrupt and duplicitous -- is "the truth," they're in for more of it as the GOP continues to reap what they have sewn.

Out here in the reality-based communty, we're so tired of looking at the emperor's wang it almost seems normal. The clusterfucking of everything, almost routine.

Don't forget: we can do better.
